Abstract

eng Before Islam religion was accepted by the local rulers and inhabitants, Javanese cities and settlements were created according to Hindu-Buddhistic cosmology as described in Negakarertagama about Majapahit palace and cities of Bali Island. This planning concept drastically changed from ritual-oriented to commerce-oriented as soon as the local rulers accepted Islam in the 15th century as growth of international commerce.

In order to support this supposition, urban pattern of the North coastal cities before and after islamization must be argued. Among the cities, Cirebon and Banten are taken as case study as they played an important role in the process of islamization and still exist after experience of several transformations. Main sources of the research are local chronicles and traveler's account.

ind Sebelum agama Islam diterima oleh para penguasa dan penduduk setempat, kota serta permukiman di Jawa dibangun berdasarkan kosmologi Hindu-Buddha, sebagaimana digambarkan dalam *Nagarakretagama* mengenai istana Majapahit dan kota-kota di Pulau Bali. Konsep tata ruang ini berubah secara drastis—dari yang berorientasi pada ritual menjadi berorientasi pada perdagangan—seiring dengan diterimanya Islam oleh para penguasa setempat pada abad ke-15 dan berkembangnya perdagangan internasional.

Untuk mendukung anggapan tersebut, pola tata ruang kota-kota di pesisir utara sebelum dan sesudah masa Islamisasi perlu dikaji. Cirebon dan Banten dipilih sebagai studi kasus karena kedua kota tersebut memainkan peran penting dalam proses Islamisasi dan masih bertahan hingga kini setelah melalui berbagai transformasi. Sumber utama penelitian ini meliputi kronik lokal dan catatan perjalanan para musafir.
